George Larin:
Was first introduced to music through his older brother’s record collection and this turned him to actually start making records out of paper and while pretending to play them, singing along, making up the guitar parts as he went along. It wasn’t until a few years later, that while at a family function, he noticed that there was an old black and white film playing on the T.V, and as he looked closer, he saw his first vision of Bill Haley and Chuck Berry. This was the beginning of a series of events that dramatically changed his life.
Not long after this musical awakening he began bashing around on an old acoustic guitar left lying around at home by one of his brother’s. With the strings about an inch above the fretboard, he soon taught himself how to play 12 bar blues. After weeks and weeks of playing rock and roll Chuck style, his next life changing event was when he heard Led Zeppelin, Deep Purple and Black Sabbath for the first time. But he quickly noticed that there was something not right with the sound that was coming out of his guitar, so by sticking a sheet of paper under the strings where he was picking, he managed to make the strings buzz, to emulate that distorted sound that these bands were making.
Through a friend of the family, he clearly remembers coming home one night after having been to the movies and walking in and seeing an electric guitar and an amp sitting there in the corner of the room. Thus then begins the George Larin music rollercoaster ride! With his new electric guitar he began mastering blues and rock and roll, but then it was time for another blast of guitar inflicted fury when he heard Eddie Van Halen and Randy Rhoads. So armed with all of this guitar knowledge, he left his home in the peaceful surroundings of the country side and headed for the big smoke, where he soon began to play regular gigs with a variety of different acts.
George has been making music as long as he can remember. One of the many memorable moments of his musical journey was relocating to the U.K to perform with a guitar pop outfit and then later over to Germany where he recorded one of the slickest sounding demo’s ever heard with the precision thrash metal outfit, Backwater. Even though success had come close but never close enough, it was when he returned to Melbourne, Australia and joined up with seminal metal outfit Nothing Sacred and then later with Australian metal legends, Taramis (along with Evan), that an album, International supports and countless tours up and down the coast made him feel like all of his hard work had finally paid off. With that chapter of his career finished, a new one began when he played guitar for the female fronted hard rock outfit, AMETHYST who also released an album and had great reviews worldwide. George also plays in Wizard Sleeve, alongside Vulvagun drummer Chris.
George resides in Melbourne and has a home studio where he has recorded two metal albums under the banner of LARIN and released, "Chameleon", a guitar instrumental album which showcases different styles of music, moods and guitar textures.
